Have recently bought this laptop. Its all up to date with updates. Everything has been working relatively fine. Recently though the microphone has stopped working. Ive tried troubleshooting, device drivers, computer/ device manager & i am out of ideas to fix it. If it was a hardware issue would it notify me? how do i find out and how do i fix this?

    I have an Acer Swift 3 with the same problem. If I find a solution I'll let you know :(

    What finally did work was to plug in a pair of earphones, which froze my laptop. Then I removed the earphones, shut laptop down, started it up and somehow it was fine again.

    hmm that’s a strange fix. I’ll try that next time. I ended up backing up & reseting which re loaded windows and kept all my files & now microphone works again.
